Saturday, October 31, 2020

 

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“He also laid the upper parts with gold.”
(2 Chronicles 3:9)

What if those “upper parts” were in a place where most people wouldn’t notice them –

where only You could see, Jesus?

Then they would have been the most important areas of all, wouldn’t they?

Everything I do for You that others can see
may dilute what I do for You.

But when I do something good that only You can see

that’s 100% pure:

1on1 with You!

Pray this Lazaroo in righteous caution:

“…they always heap up their sins to the limit.”
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)

I know people who seem to be doing that, Jesus.

Please help me not judge them!
You alone know their struggles, limitations, intent.

But may I not be guilty of such a thing!

All it took for Moses to be denied entrance to the Promised Land
was to strike the rock, rather than speak to it.

Because of my 1on1 closeness to You

the bar is set higher.

Pray this Lazaroo in passionate gratitude:

“In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem (a city of refuge)…”
(1 Chronicles 6:67)

Those blessed cities of refuge, Jesus!

You provided them so a person who had accidentally killed someone could go to them to escape being killed by the avenger of blood.

Every one of us needs a place of refuge when we’ve done something we didn’t mean to do.

You, LORD!

You Are my place of Refuge

when everyone else
wants to string me up.

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness…”
(Colossians 1:25)

What a great commission You gave Paul, Jesus!

The same commission You’ve given me
and every believer on the face of the earth.

It may not be my job to present Your Word to the Church at Colossae

but it most certainly is my assignment
to make sure I share Your Word with those around me

and every chance I get
to those beyond.

Tuesday, October 27, 2020

 

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Jehoshaphat said, ‘The word of the Lord is with him.’ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.”
(2 Kings 3:12)

Good decision, Jesus.

When we don’t know what to do
we can always go to someone who knows You.

But there’s something better, isn’t there?

I need to know You! –
deeply, personally, intimately –
by living in Your Word

so I’ll know Your will…

and others can safely come to me.

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“…make my joy complete by being like-minded…”
(Philippians 2:1)

Many of us put a high premium on being different, Jesus!

And so we are.

No two of us are exactly alike.

You’ve made each of us unique.

Then why is it so important for the people in Your Church to be like-minded?

Well…there are some things that we all have to agree on, aren’t there?

Love for You.
Love for one another.
Compassion for the lost.
Obedience to Your Word.

Sunday, October 25, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“So Solomon removed Abiathar from the priesthood of the Lord, fulfilling the word the Lord had spoken at Shiloh about the house of Eli.”
(1 Kings 2:27)

When You say it, Jesus

it gets done.

Sometimes we have to wait –

for what seems to us like a long time –

but when Your Word comes true, we see…

not only that You kept Your Word
but that You fulfilled it in the perfect way
and in the perfect time.

HALLELUJAH!

Pray this Lazaroo in gratitude and renewed commitment:

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”
(Ephesians 2:13)

I was far away, Jesus –

far, far, far away!

Thank You for bringing me near!

I never want to be apart from You, ever again!

May I always remember that many others who are far away

would love to be brought near
if only they knew they could be!

That’s my assignment, isn’t it?

To make sure they know.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“But Asahel refused to give up the pursuit; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into Asahel’s stomach, and the spear came out through his back. He fell there and died on the spot.”
(2 Samuel 2:23)

Abner warned Asahel again and again, Jesus

to no avail.

Asahel had made up his mind that he was going to kill Abner –

ignoring the reality that Abner was the superior fighter.

Absent a direct command from you

may I never do likewise.

Pray this Lazaroo in all-out passion:

“…we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law…”
(Galatians 2:16)

You want me to try hard to please You, Jesus!

To try really, really hard
to give it my all.

But that’s not what saves me, is it?

It’s faith. Only faith.

Because as hard as I try

I fall short.

And sometimes – God forgive me!

I don’t try very hard at all.
